The GES’s press release dated 1st September 2023 failed to disclose the date for the selection of schools which is of interest ot students and parents. In our earlier publication on this, parents, schools, and candidates were informed of the change in school selection processes.
Additional information regarding this New 2023 School Selection Details available to this portal is that BECE candidates will choose up to 11 schools during the school selection phase.
Per our sources, the GES is updating the current school selection form, and the number of schools to be selected among others.
The new form will consist of two sections aimed at making the selection of second-cycle schools understandable and not complicated.
The new Free SHS selection form will have two sections, as follows.
- The 1st placement school selection form
- The 2nd placement school selection form

The 1st placement school selection form looks almost like the current one in use. The candidates will be required to select or choose 6 schools they will want to be considered for during placement.
